Democratic US Senator Raphael Warnock has beaten Republican former football star Herschel Walker a tight race in Wednesday’s runoff election in Georgia.

The result means the Democrats will expand their razor-thin US Senate majority to 51-49.

With 72 per cent of the estimated vote tallied on Wednesday afternoon (AEDT), Reverend Warnock led Mr Walker by 50.4 per cent to 49.6 per cent, according to Edison Research.

This actually amuses me to no end: serves you right, you bastards. You were so determined to serve the wealthy that you could not see the forest for the trees. You were so obsessed with growing their (and your own) investment property portfolios that you could not see (or simply did not care) that you were creating what is now known as Generation Rent. It is no wonder these people will not vote for you: you utterly screwed them out of the so-called Australian Dream of owning your own home. Your policies around negative gearing, tax cuts for the wealthy, superannuation concessions and so on – these tongue-baths to the rich have created a generation (and beyond) of serfs with iPhones. That, Spud, is why they will not vote for you!

Murdoch summoned for questioning

(Independent)

Fox chairman and media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has been summoned for questioning under oath in a case related to Fox News coverage during the 2020 presidential election.

The 91-year-old will be deposed next week as part of a $1.6bn defamation suit brought forward by the election technology company Dominion Voting Systems, who allege the network purposely aired false claims and baseless conspiracy theories that the it rigged the election.

While most of these claims were made by guests, some were reportedly agreed to by the anchors.
